5th Edition

 

In London in the 1950s, aspiring young writer John Wilmot meets successful painter Oliver Cambourne and agrees to model for him. Oliver is older, sophisticated, elegant, and wealthy, and he introduces John to another world. For the first time in his life, John has love and money—more than he ever imagined. While the relationship opens many doors for John, it is also dangerous and must be kept a secret.

 

Oliver’s commitment to John is absolute and deeper than John initially realizes, but John is confused by his own feelings. He worries about the changes his affair with Oliver are causing in him and about his future security. One night, he makes a fateful decision that will have repercussions not just for him, but on the lives of everyone around him. His choice and its consequences affect not merely the future but send him looking into himself for answers. Only through time and careful introspection can he grow and move past the pain of the choice that has changed everything.

 

A Bittersweet Dreams title: It's an unfortunate truth: love doesn't always conquer all. Regardless of its strength, sometimes fate intervenes, tragedy strikes, or forces conspire against it.
